Speed Duel is a very simple race game involving
yourself and a computer car. You can select the speed
at which your opponent travels, the number of laps and
the difficulty level. Once you've done that you can
start the race.

The
idea of the game is simply to beat your opponent to
the finishing post before losing all of your five lives
(a life is lost either when you run off the track or
when you hit your opponent). After finishing the race
you are given a bonus for doing so and you may enter
your name in the score table. The track isn't a set
one but gives random corners that are announced by signs
with arrows on them.
The
graphics and sound of the game are really awful with
terrible track perspective, flat tunes and unrealistic
car control. I was amazed to find that the game is only
about a year old -- I thought it was a really early
Commodore game. Even at its cheap price it doesn't offer
good value for money and there are infinitely better
racing games available.
